"Princess Consort, Princess He Lan of the Northern Territory has arrived." A guard reported from outside the door.
Hearing this, Ye Li couldn't help but smile. Ye Li had a good impression of the Princess of the Northern Territory who dared to love and hate. She stood up and said to Mo Xiuyao, "I will go and welcome Princess He Lan." Even though Princess He Lan had the title of Princess, the Northern Territory couldn't be considered a country yet. It could only be considered a tribe. As Prince Ding, Mo Xiuyao naturally didn't need to personally welcome this Princess, even if this Princess could be the future ruler of the Northern Territory.
Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "That's fine. I still have some things to discuss with Qingbai."
Ye Li didn't beat around the bush. She stood up and walked out. There was a brief moment of silence in the study because of Ye Li's departure. After a while, Mo Xiuyao finally said, "Qingbai, what do you have to say?" Xu Qingbai nodded slightly and said, "I heard … the officials of Li City have some complaints about Li 'er?"
Mo Xiuyao couldn't help but smile. "Fourth Young Master Xu, it's not like you haven't dealt with those old scholars before. How can you not understand?" Xu Qingbai lowered his eyes and nodded. "That is indeed the case. Then, what does Prince think?"
Mo Xiuyao smiled with satisfaction. "This matter will have to depend on Fourth Young Master Xu."
"I understand." Xu Qingbai nodded. The smile on Mo Xiuyao's face became even more joyful. It was so comfortable to talk to smart people. Fourth Young Master Xu looked like he was skilled in politics and was cultured and refined. In reality, he was a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. If it wasn't for the absolute power in his personality, with Xu Qingbai's scholarly appearance, how could he have subdued the great families of Xi Ling in a short two to three years? Although Xu Qingchen was the leader of the five young masters of the Xu family, Mo Xiuyao knew that Eldest Young Master Xu was too aloof. It would be difficult for him to stay in the government for long. Therefore, if she really wanted to do something, she would have to turn to the fourth son of the Xu family.
As for how those annoying old fellows would be tormented by Fourth Young Master Xu, His Highness Prince Ding didn't care. It would be a big mistake to think that Prince Ding was punishing him for his petty actions. The name Prince Ding could also mean petty, vengeful, and vindictive.
"Helan." Outside the entrance of the Prince Ding Mansion, Ye Li smiled as she looked at the beautiful lady in red who was dressed in the Northern Tribes' unique uniform.
"Princess Ding!" Princess Helan rushed forward with a bright smile and gave Ye Li a warm hug. "Princess Ding, long time no see. You're still so beautiful." Ye Li helplessly returned the hug and said with a smile, "I'm not as beautiful as the Princess." After staying in this era for so long, Ye Li realized that she was not used to such a warm greeting.
"Really?" Princess Helan looked at Ye Li with joy. Many people praised her beauty, but what kind of praise was more pleasing than praise from the beauty in one's eyes?
Ye Li smiled and said, "Of course it's true. It seems that the Princess has had a great time in the past year. "
Princess Helan smiled and said, "Not bad. Although the Central Plains is great, I still prefer the North. I've heard that you've had a wonderful year. One day, I really want to compete with you in martial arts. Along the way, the people of the Central Plains have been talking about Princess Ding as if she's a living Goddess of War. "
"You're most welcome." Ye Li smiled and said, "The Princess has had a great journey, please come in and rest. Please come in. "Princess Helan did not stand on ceremony. She took Ye Li's hand and walked into the Prince Ding Mansion. When they reached the entrance, Ye Li suddenly stopped and looked at a certain place outside the mansion. Princess Helan was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Nothing, please." At an inconspicuous place, she raised her hand and gestured to Qin Feng. She clearly felt that someone was staring at her from that direction. Qin Feng nodded slightly and watched the two of them enter the Prince Ding Mansion. Then, he waved his hand and ordered the guards to search in the direction Ye Li pointed.
In the Prince's Mansion, Princess Helan held Ye Li's hand and walked inside. She whispered, "Princess Ding, is there something going against the Prince Ding Mansion?"
Ye Li raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't expect Princess Helan's senses to be so sharp. Princess Helan quickly shook her head and said, "No, we encountered a group of assassins on the way here. It was before we entered Feihong Pass. At first, I thought it was the remnants of Ren Qining's subordinates who wanted to take revenge on me. Later, I felt that it wasn't so. As soon as we arrived at Glass City, I heard that assassins kidnapped the Queen of Nanzhao. Just now … "Princess Helan didn't find anything just now. She just guessed that Ye Li might have found something from Ye Li's reaction. Thinking of this, Princess Helan dejectedly admitted that she was indeed inferior to Princess Ding.
Ye Li let out a soft sigh and briefly explained the situation to him. Princess Helan didn't care. She smiled and said, "This Mo Jingli is quite bold. If there is a chance, this princess would like to meet him." Ye Li shook her head helplessly and said with a smile, "I don't want you to meet him." Mo Jingli was able to set up an ambush to assassinate Princess Helan on the way here. It could be seen that he was really crazy. He didn't care that he might become the target of the various countries.
In Glass City, in a dark alley. A middle-aged man wearing plain cotton clothes slowly raised his head. His eyes flashed with a sharp light. As expected of Ye Li, she was almost discovered! Thinking of the gentle woman in white with a sweet smile outside the Prince Ding Mansion, a complicated expression flashed across the middle-aged man's face. After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something. His face became sinister and twisted. "Ye Li, Mo Xiuyao! I won't let you off! I won't let you off! "
In the Da Chu State's messenger's hostel, Mo Jingyu pushed open the door to his room with a gloomy face. Just now, he heard that Princess Helan's group in the North had encountered an assassination attempt. He didn't need to think to know who did it. Now that the Prince Ding Mansion was at its peak, there was no one who dared to go against the Prince Ding Mansion other than that crazy Mo Jingli.
As soon as he entered, he realized that something was wrong. Mo Jingyu raised his head in alarm and saw a person sitting on the soft couch in his room, reading a book. Mo Jingyu was stunned. He quickly turned around and closed the door. In a low voice, he roared, "You're crazy! You actually dare to swagger in here at a time like this! "
Mo Jingli sneered. He raised his eyebrows in disdain. "Are you afraid? Don't worry, the people from the Prince Ding Mansion won't discover me. "
Mo Jingyu looked carefully and realized that most of Mo Jingli's appearance was very different from last time. His originally eye-catching beard had been completely replaced, and his originally sallow and thin face was also a little too fair. He was even wearing the clothes of a guard from the Da Chu State's Prince Yu's Residence. He didn't look like a middle-aged man in his thirties. Instead, he looked like a sickly young man in his twenties.
"You …" Mo Jingyu walked up and stared at Mo Jingli. When he got closer, he realized that Mo Jingli's face was unnaturally white. It turned out that he had applied a layer of powder. Mo Jingli hadn't been living well these days. It wasn't possible for him to return to his original pampered appearance in a short period of time. Naturally, he could only use powder to cover it up. But as a man, even though Mo Jingyu was a member of the imperial family and liked to pretend to be cultured, he still couldn't stand the powder on his face. He couldn't help but frown. "You're really unscrupulous." If one wasn't familiar with Mo Jingli, they might not be able to recognize him even if he stood in front of them. No wonder Mo Jingli was so fearless.
